- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A great book of its kind. Simple, concise and true to the most essential things. Nothing new compared to similar books. But no hyped concepts forcely added. By addressing life meaning concept by Victor Frankl and the importance of gratitude alone (therefore implying the importance of God), this book deserves a 5 stars
